The saxophone in the previous song reminded me of a saxophone player, who usually plays for a symphonic orchestra, and she is looking go-oo-ooo-d too.

Yello - The Race (Live In Berlin / 2016)

She does a great Blow-job in this song. :joy: :joy: :joy:

Ok, saxophone day :saxophone:

I have quite a few favourite sax-solos, but they usually are in the middle of a song, so it misses the theme a little. Then again, when it comes to saxophone-themed songs, this song came to my mind. While looking for it I came upon this cool montage made by “someone”, with a few faces in it that some of you might recognize.

It was quite a collection. I recognized Bill Haley, Fats Domino and Little Richard and a couple whose names I can’t remember!

Same here actually. Then again. I suppose this comes from an era we’re both a little too young to remember, even you :wink: :hugs:

Today I’d like to celebrate the memory of English guitarist, sitarist, flutist, dulcimer player…well, basically multi-instrumentalist Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones. Better known to the world as just Brian Jones, This man deserves to be remembered as the important figure in the history of rock that he most certainly is.

In May 1962 Brian Jones posted an ad in Jazz Weekly, looking for musicians to form a band. Keyboardist Ian Stewart was among the first to answer, and was soon followed by singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards. More musicians came and went, among them bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts. This line-up played their first gig together in mid-January 1963, calling themselves The Rolling Stones. Rarely has the cliche “the rest is history” been more applicable than here. And this particular history was started by Brian Jones.

As many of his peers in the 1960’s, Brian Jones eventually got serious problems due to various substances. It came to the point that he felt he wasn’t able to carry on, so he left the Stones in June 1969. Less than a month later, 55 years ago on this day, he sadly passed away, only 27 years old. Let’s raise our glasses to Brian Jones, without whom we would not have the Rolling Stones we know today :beers:

There has been some talk about Fleetwood Mac above in this topic.Most everybody seems to favour the five-piece from the Rumours era. There’s even been a mention of the five-piece when Bob Welch was in the band. I do like a lot of this, but there has hardly been a mention of my favourite five piece line-up of the band, namely the one with Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan on guitar, along with the eternal rhythm section of McVie and Fleetwood of course.

This is the line-up behind classics such as Albatross, The Green Manalishi, Oh Well and Man of the World. Sadly all three guitarists struggled with their personal problems, and eventually got more or less lost to the music world.

Today I’ll focus on Jeremy Spencer. While Peter Green had a more gentle touch on the guitar, Jeremy took care of the more rocking blues songs in the earlier days of the band, with his raunchy voice and slide guitar. However his problems got the best of him, and he disappeared in the middle of a US tour i February 1971, only to be found some days later to have joined a sect called the Children of God.

In the coming decades he continued to release records, but these were for purposes of the sect. From the 2000’s and on he did make a return to more blues oriented stuff on record. He has also been interviwed for Fleetwood Mac documentaries. And there were even rumous of a reunioun of this first classic line-up of the band.

Now, Jeremy Spencer is still alive. As a matter of fact, today is his birthday, he is turning 76! So here is a big shout out and a toast to him. Now he’s finally got his mention on this topic in our own strange corner of the world :beer:
